Well, the Vega64 was always very power hungry. 550W, even from a high quality unit like the TX550m, might be pushing it.

I would say that a GTX 2060 or an RX 5700 (non-XT) are in the same general price range as each other, and within your limit. The 2060 would perform about the same as the 1070Ti, and the RX 5700 is faster.

Wait, the prices I was seeing were notably less than £300 on the list I linked to.

Is that before . . I think it's called VAT, or something like that?

If so, then I guess the tradeoff is used vs a full warranty from a new part. On the other hand, if the UK also has warranties generally applicable to used parts, or that extend beyond the first owner, then that's definitely something that would make used more worthwhile.

I tend to get my GPUs used, as the discount is so much better than buying new. Most of the time I've got it off eBay, so no warranty, and since the last card I got off eBay died I wanted to go with CeX (uk.webuy.com) as it includes a 2 year warranty.

Also, in the UK everything has tax included in the price (of 20%). So maybe why it appears cheaper for you if you live in the USA

Na. A vega 64 will do max 312 watts on its own when o the standard bios at turbo.
But iv never experienced 300watts when gaming yet.
Im at 200-220 watts according to gpu-z.
1080p ultra settings vsync off and on.
550watts will do it aslong as your CPU is not hungry.

On my other system a 3770k stock settings ran fine with 7990 and gtx 690 on an antec HCG 620 watts.
Never a problem.
